Abstract
"Uniquely Australian flora and fauna, known as ‘bush food1’ or ‘bush tucker’ plays an important role in the daily lives of many Aboriginal peoples, particularly those living in remote Australia. Bush food provides a valuable contribution to diet, is used as a mechanism for passing on traditional knowledge about caring for country and being part of country. Specific plants and animals intrinsically linked to particular locations are thus culturally important to Aboriginal peoples and their country, from which place-based identity is derived. This research explored the nature of participation of remote Aboriginal peoples in the bush foods industry, and their positions in bush foods value chains. The study further explored the ways in which participatory action research (PAR) might be used as a vehicle for engagement of Aboriginal peoples in ongoing development in remote Australia.",
